How To Get The Most Out Of Your Brainwave Meditation Session

On a lot of sites you see unbelievable assessments regarding brainwave meditation. You can read slogans like meditate deeper than a Zen monk' or 'Meditate profoundly within minutes' or even 'meditate in minutes'. Most of this how ever is is plain lie. Not that there is no truth to to these claims, but you do not get it just out of the box.
Yes, you will get entrained to lower brain waves but that also happens when you when you sleep.
What you need to do is using all the techniques that experienced meditators employ. Doing this, you will greatly enhance your benefits you get out of your brainwave meditation session. The following guidelines helped me, so they will work for you also.

Relax
If you want to learn how to meditate, even with the help of brainwave entrainment, you will have to learn how to relax completely. It is a basic skill and must be mastered. .
In the beginning of each entrainment track your brainwaves are slowly brought down over a period of 5 to 10 minutes. This is the perfect time to relax every one ofour muscles. If you just bring you attention to each of the muscles, one by one, willing them to relax, you will see that they just do that. Fee all the tension flow out of you. Now do the same for your emotions. Just gently look at them and allow them to relax.
If you omit this step, the CD will do it for you. You will,however not be able to reach the depts as with the conscious relaxation of your body a,d mind.

Listen to the track.
Not too many companies selling brainwave meditation CD's tell you this, but I found listening to the track enormously enhances the meditation experience. At least to me it does. I have no idea about the long term effects, as I did not study these, but the feeling of going deep into the meditation is definitely affected. The more you can focus on the track, the better it gets.

Try to stay awake
This is actually the a consequence of the previous one since, as you fall asleep, you are not concentrated on the music, obviously :-). It is true that staying awake is sometimes difficult. The music guides your brainwaves to those of sleep. But now you need to stay awake. It is the exact purpose of meditation: to reach these states consciously, so awake. That is where the real benefits lie. You sleep every night, yet, you do not benefit from the meditation, as you are not conscious of your thoughts. You need to go there conscious.

Do not mix practices
As you do not need to do a great effort to reach low brainwaves (after all, that's where the tracks are for). You tend to want to do a whole lot of practices. To mix them up. But that is actually not such a good idea. In this way you do not have any continuity. You fleet from one point to the other. Moreover, if you add a practice, be sure that it is in sync with the entrainment frequencies. Otherwise your practice will tend to lead you to one particular frequency, and the track to another one. This is counterproductive.

At the end, open you eyes slowly.
Again, as in normal meditation, come back in very slow way. Try to bring the blissful feelings you had in meditation back into your waking life. After all, that is why you do the meditation in the first place: to lead a better, more peaceful life.
